8 Peak Performance
Achieving Peak
Performance States
with Light/Sound Technology
By Rayma Ditson-Sommer, Ph.D. and Larry Minikes
In today’s fast-paced world people are hard pressed to make the commitment to long
term self improvement programs, despite the considerable benefits that a focused,
clear mind confers. Fortunately, light and sound technology can accelerate any such
program if you are willing to invest the modest amount of time required to sit un-
disturbed for a half-hour per day at least three to four times per week.
The common problems people face in beginning a self improvement program include:
• Finding a credible trainer or an appropriate program.
• Finding and making the time to practice.
• Finding the proper space to practice in.
• Learning associated techniques to assist in reaching deeply relaxed states.
• Most important of all, staying with the program—discipline.
You have made a big step towards your commitment to improve your experience
of the world by purchasing the Mind’sEye and taking the time to learn how to best
make use of it. This technology will help you begin and maintain an effective medi-
tation or deep relaxation program which will, over time, bring you many benefits.
The benefits of light/sound technology
• Relaxation. Achieve states of calmness in a shorter period of time than is pos-
sible with many traditional methods. The Mind’sEye can add an effective new
element to traditional meditation and other types of stress reduction programs.
• Safe, effective, non habit forming and drug-free assistance in falling asleep.
• Creativity. Use the complex, shifting visual images you see during a session as
stimulus to your creative imagination and unlock the doors to creative break-

• Visualization and development of new goals. These can include psychological
goals such as increasing motivation levels, and physical goals such as increased
concentration and other performance necessary for sports achievement.
• Accelerated learning. The Mind’sEye will help gradually shift your mind to the
state where you are most receptive to new information.
A good analogy is that using our system is like riding a bicycle to get from one point
to another. The machine does not do all the work for you, like an automobile. Both
technologies assist you by making more efficient use of the way your mind and body
naturally function. This is not doing something to you, as drugs do; it is doing some-
